DESCRIPTION
The exploding Internet marketplace beckons programmers to jump into this fast lane of programming. Up to now, the publishing world has more or less ignored the OS/2 programmer who wants to develop applications for TCP/IP. Steven Gutz fills the void by providing detailed techniques for creating effective TCP/IP applications using the C or C++ language. He develops complete OS/2 TCP/IP applications for ping, news, gopher, and FTP (complete source code is provided in the companion disk).
What's inside:
- Developing a class library for nonvisual objects
- Developing a simple PM class library
- Developing a network interface class library
- Building applications
- An improved editor
- A simple PM ping
- A simple news client
- A basic FTP client
This is not a "TCP/IP for Dummies" book. You should be an intermediate to advanced programmer, preferably with some OS/2 experience, who is comfortable with C++ and the concepts of object oriented programming.
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"This book is required reading for OS/2 programmers looking to build
distributed applications for the Internet or other networked
environments."
--Kelly Trammell, Partner, KPMG Peat Marwick
